hen or rooster?

[Minnie Mooseth]

Anyone want to guess whether this 5 month old is a hen or a rooster?

I'd guess hen. She looks like mine.

A side shot would help, but I'm thinking roo

Its a roo looks exactly like my late roo gold

Is this the one who started trying to crow? That looks like a lovely rooster to me - appears to be showing a couple of nice sickle feathers going up over the top of the tail in the first picture and some saddle feathers poking out on the side when I blow the image up a bit.

Yes, this is Norma, the crowing hen. Lol. I guess we'll have to start calling him Norman. I'm not 100 percent sure he/she was crowing but he/she made an unusual noise today. I agree that the saddle feathers look more like a rooster's, now that I know what to look for.

If "she" is crowing then she's probably a he!

It's a cockerel.

Believe I see sickle feathers. Cockerel.

Yes, Norma is now Norman. His whole demeanor changed overnight. He is still super sweet and will perch on my arm. I hope he keeps being sweetie.
